Automatic nursing notes: would this tool change your working life?

A tool that means nurses will no longer need to hand write or type up clinical notes in outpatient clinics is being rolled out in one hospital after a successful trial.

Clinicians at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London can access a new time-saving tool that produces automatic transcriptions of consultations and drafts clinical notes, but can be checked and edited before saving to a patient’s record.

In this episode of the Nursing Standard podcast, the hospital’s chief nursing information officer Nattallie Alwash discusses the potential benefits of artificial intelligence for nurses but explains why she believes the technology will never replace human clinicians.
